How hard is a physics major? An experience.
The truth about Einstein’s major from a physicist No, it’s not hard. That’s the answer. A physics major is not hard, I mean it sure is harder than receiving most other degrees, but it’s not super hard and I am

AI will become conscious by understanding language. Here is how: Did you ever ask yourself what exactly limits our mind or relatively our Understanding of things? Now, one argument is to say that the computational power of the human brain

Read moreThe danger of AI: Does no one want to talk about the children?
Children get in contact with AI through many things. AI systems are “embedded in toys, virtual assistants, video games, and adaptive learning software”. Children are on social media and algorithms determine what they watch, what products are advertised to them, and how they regard sexuality, race, and religion.

AI can do a lot of cool stuff. If you read my articles, you know that scientists managed to let AI develop an intuition for physics like a child. AI can manipulate human behaviour and AI unfortunately adapted one of

A lot of stereotypes in social science turned out to be not exactly true. One other narrative is, for instance, that women are less competitive than men, but recent studies show that this is very task-specific and regarding beauty. Women are actually very competitive. Women are also not more cooperative, that’s too easy. Studies show that men are again just more extreme, they are either the most selfish or the most altruistic people while women just on average cooperate to benefit everyone. All this shows that things are more complex and that maybe if we manipulate certain social factors, we could see more women being extraordinary in science and in the free market and similarly observe more evil women. Perhaps we end up seeing women as more talented and special than we do now and similarly, we might see them as more dangerous than we do now.
